I'm successfully on Viatalk now with my BYOD Sunrocket gizmo, the AC-211. I can make and receive calls successfully, etc. I'm using the G711 codec.
My concern is quality. Testing it out with my wife, it was fine. However, when I called Viatalk's own support line and sat on hold, I got extremely strange, but consistent behavior:
- The "operator" voice telling you where you are in line always came through crystal clear and perfect
- The "marketing girl" voice telling you new orders have to be placed on the website would cut in and out constantly; it was impossible to follow
- The elevator music barely came through at all
In contrast, when calling from my cellphone everything was clear.
Thoughts? I also have this crazy idea that Viatalk has some special magic that happens for calls from customers to Viatalk themselves to avoid carrier fees, so the problem could be particular to calling Viatalk.
